How do you change the zoom quickly when creating slides?

[genericaudioperson]

Hello,

I would like to be able to click a button to zoom in on a slide. And
then hit a button to zoom back out to see the whole page view. This
is during editing. I want to be able to see fine details, but then
zoom out to see the whole slide. It takes too long to have to go to
view>>zoom>>200%, view>>zoom>>fit to page.

Any suggestions? I'd love to be able to program something like
Shift-1= close up view, Shift-2= far away view (entire slide).

Thank you in advance for any insights

I'm assuming that you don't have 2007 where it's easy.

If you have a wheel mouse try finger on ctrl key and spin the wheel.

As John mentions, a wheeliemouse is very quick.

There's also the free PPTools StarterSet add-in, which includes zoom in, zoom
out, zoom to fit buttons. When you're at zoom to fit, clicking Shift + Zoom to
fit takes you back to the previous zoomed in / zoomed out position so you can
toggle between zoom and fit in one click.

What John said.... but also....

select the object you want to zoom into... before doing the wheely mouse
zoom trick

Then ppt zooms into that object
